What if she did say no? Because the woman in this case did, and it was in a professional setting with a full adult, too. Imo that makes it even worse than your typical frat boy stuff. But as someone who has had to guard against men “pushing the envelope,” I don’t think that’s the kind of thing that should be excused…

Yeah, “creepy” may be a strong word - I doubt he’s doing it on purpose either.

Dude, there’s no comparison here. I get where you’re going - guys feel pressured to make a move, and they read signs wrong instead of just asking, totally get that - but that isn’t what happened in this case. He continued to pressure her after she said no, and when she finally said yes, he took it a step further. If…

He pressured her into something she felt uncomfortable with as a manipulation tactic so he could further take advantage of her. I couldn’t imagine doing that to someone, and I wouldn’t want to vote for or work with someone who could do that. The photo is just icing on the cake and proof that he didn’t respect her…

Biden’s creepiness has been talked about a lot in feminist circles, I feel like, plus there was an article here recently about him and Anita Hill.

I don’t remember one. There’s a new version of the game with more features coming out next year, so they might review it then.

I didn’t hear about that but I can believe it. It’s one of my favorite games and the devs seem to really care about feedback.

No experience with kids, but my LDR survived. The biggest things I can think of are to always have the next in-person visit planned, to communicate as often as you can (lots of video calls), and to be upfront about the troubles you’re having and how hard it is.

Well, it feels good to finally take action on these things, and you might be able to help younger women - it’s usually a pattern of behavior and someone falls through the cracks when places operate on word of mouth. But you could also go through a lot without anything coming of it, so I think it depends on where you…

Haha, it may be better not to know, but then it’s worse when you do find out.

That sucks. I feel like it’s natural to assume kind-seeming people aren’t harboring prejudices, but it’s often a bad assumption.

If you pick up your PC and move it without any falling out, I’ll bet you’re fine. I hope you don’t see any in the bathroom - they love toothbrushes...

It sounds like they didn’t bother following up on leads, though - seems like they could’ve checked her blood work, they could’ve talked to the night club manager, etc.

As in the most recent season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, where the sexual tension between the amoral Nathaniel Plimpton and the altruistic (kinda) Rebecca Bunch has bloomed into a sexual relationship

I was surprised too. I feel like there must be an especially late review embargo or something.

It’s not a woman’s responsibility to stop herself from getting raped. That’s a really, really bad lesson to pass down. You can talk to girls/women about stuff they can do to avoid being raped without making that leap in logic.

You should keep in mind is that most assault doesn’t take place in a dark alley with strangers based on what a woman’s wearing - it happens with people they know, like friends or family or employers, regardless of what she’s wearing. If I have daughters, the biggest thing I’m planning to teach them is personal…

But having others celebrate your physical beauty is not the way to lead a meaningful life.

That didn’t strike me as odd; my personal impression is that attractive women get more attention of all kinds, and I’ve gotten more catcalls etc. when wearing revealing clothing. But Bialik’s conclusion is ignorant and irresponsible all the same. Many harassers get off on violating boundaries and modesty is just…

You tried to poke a lot of holes in this woman’s story directly after wondering why women stay quiet instead of speaking up. You should think about whether there could be some kind of connection there.
